The Story

The wildly opposing dreams of his mismatched parents ignite Sugar Mecklin’s imagination, creating his dreaded invisible enemy, The Red Rooster. Set in rural Mississippi, Lewis Nordan’s brilliant short stories are stitched together by Sugar’s often hilarious and sometimes touching attempts to keep his parents together.
